Myriad Scholarships

Each year, Myriad provides scholarships to college science majors because we believe that supporting today’s aspiring young leaders is a great investment in the future. Here is what recent scholarship recipients had to say:

“Because of your generosity in donating to the College of Science, I will be able to continue to devote myself to my studies while maintaining active involvement in extracurricular activities such as community service, healthcare professional shadowing and research, all of which have certainly enhanced my experience at the University of Utah.”
– Bryn E. McNerny

“Thank you very much for being the big local company that is willing to invest in a local scientist with big dreams.”
– Zachary Lee

“This scholarship will provide me with great motivation to continue pursing science and learn everything possible during the process.”
– Donghwi Bae

“This grant will be a significant help in my future studies. As a first-generation college student living along with my mother, a Ukrainian immigrant, financial support from my family is minimal.”
– Elena Nazarenko

“Words cannot express how thankful I am for receiving this annual scholarship; and my parents could not be more proud. We are all so overjoyed with happiness.”
– Boya Li
